Patients now have the option to pre-register by completing paperwork available anywhere they can access the world wide web! And in the near future patients will be able to complete this process electronically and even make themselves an appointment on the schedule.

Patients who complete the pre-registration process will be fast tracked upon arrival and be the next patient seen (excluding any trauma or emergency situations).

If you would like to be fast tracked please download and complete the registration form on-line or soon you will be able to complete electronically.

During those hot summer days, it is important to remember to hydrate often.Your body is made up of about 45%-75% water, depending on how much fat you have; therefore, water should be part of your daily routine.Lack of water can cause dehydration which can lead to thirst, dry skin, loss of appetite, fatigue/weakness, and much more1. The recommended amount of water needed by CNN Health is a little more than 8 cups2, though for men and women it varies a bit. According to the Institute of Medicine, men need roughly 13 cups and women need about 9 cups3.

In order to achieve the daily recommend water intake amount, try to:

Ø Drink a glass of water before meals, during meals, and in between meals.

Ø Drink a glass of water before exercising, during exercising, and after exercising.

Just drinking water with each meal, if you eat 3 meals on average, would account for 9 cups a day!Make sure you are drinking enough water, especially during those hot summer days!

AfterOurs is excited to announce our new partnership with Healthagen, which will allow you to more easily locate our urgent care centers on your smart phone!

This new application, called iTriage, allows everyone in need of health care to not only locate the nearest urgent care, primary care physician, or hospital, but also includes information on hours of operation, a pricing menu, and payment options!

"This partnership crystallizes AfterOurs' commitment to helping its patients make good decisions about their care." Stated Christopher Rehm, AfterOurs President. "We may not always be the right solution for a patient who needs care, but the iTriage application, coupled with our extended hours of availability, is an important resource in finding the right provider quickly."

As a result of the success of our first H1N1 vaccine clinic, AfterOurs Urgent Care has scheduled two more clinics for the week of January 4-8! If you were not able to make it to our Englewood clinic, Westminster or Highlands Ranch may be more convenient for you.

The Highlands Ranch clinic will be held January 6th from 5PM-7PM at 200 W. Countyline Rd., Suite 100 in Highlands Ranch, CO.

The Westminster clinic will be held on January 7th from 4PM-6PM at 2761 W. 120th Ave. in Westminster, CO. AfterOurs will be partnering with day-time practice, Front Range Primary Care to distribute up to 300 FREE H1N1 vaccine shots and mists!

While pregnant women, health care workers, and children are still among the highest at risk, both clinics will offer FREE shots to any patron.

If you are currently sick, have a serious allergy to eggs or a component of the flu vaccine, have ever had Guillain-Barre Syndrome, or are currently pregnant, call ahead to make sure it is safe for you to receive the H1N1 vaccine.

For more information on AfterOurs H1N1 vaccine clinics or on the H1N1 Novel Flu please call us at (303) 861-7878.

Our goal is to provide the best possible health care to the communities we serve-providing free vaccinations, volunteering at community events, and offering free care to Arising Hope residents are all part of that commitment.

AfterOurs Urgent Care is proud to preview our newest Colorado clinic to the public with a free H1N1 vaccine clinic! The clinic will be held at AfterOurs’ newest location at 6895 E. Hampden Ave. in, Denver CO from 6:30PM – 8:30PM. Shots will be offered to any patron, regardless of age. The AfterOurs staff will also be giving tours of the new 1,500 square foot, state-of-the-art clinic which will open January 2010!

“We are very excited to be opening a new clinic in the Englewood community and the free H1N1 clinic is an example of our commitment to the community’s health. It is truly our honor to be able to vaccinate hundreds of individuals for free. Pregnant women, healthcare workers, and children are still among the highest risk, but we are now able to vaccinate all individuals who want to receive immunization against the H1N1 Novel Flu”, said Alan Ashinhurst, Manager of Clinical Operations for AfterOurs Urgent Care.
